  1. Yesterday evening, I was trying to get screenshots of Twin Peaks: The Return for my upcoming conference presentation on it. These are clearly covered as a copyright exception for non-commercial research but copy protection tech offers no way for me to actually take screenshots.

      My Blu-ray copy of The Return won't allow me to screenshot it. I signed up for a free trial of NOW but the video player wouldn't even play as it 'detected screen capture software' (which I couldn't identify) on my PC.

        Despite it being legal for me to use screenshots for non-commercial research, there is no technical way for me to get these screenshots using the legal video playing means available to me.
